Facilitating student collaboration in digital humanities on zombie discourse analysis

How do you get students unfamiliar with HTML and back end development to build a born-digital exhibit? Why does digital humanities offer particularly meaningful ways of bringing together original research contributions on emerging discourses, patterns of communication, and information on marginalized peoples? This presentation will share steps to building a digital humanities project with undergraduates, and point you to free, public and open source tools for exploring and presenting information visually and textually. I'll explain how lessons learned have contributed to adjustments in the second round of [ZOMBIES REIMAGINED], and how I'm currently collaborating with digital librarians for the backend development and conceptualizing of this project. I'll also share how I've greatly benefitted from including these tools in my teaching, and how students are currently responding to this experience in Spring 2017.
